Redeemer Downtown Messages
Redeemer Downtown
Redeemer Downtown (RDT) began meeting in 2012—but we are part of a network that began in 1989, when the first Redeemer church opened its doors with a vision to love the city and welcome those with questions about faith. This vision continues to drive our future as a community eager to serve our city as recipients of God’s grace.

Pete Nicholas, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Downtown, speaks about what it means to have our identity in Jesus while remembering the life and ministry of Tim Keller.

How To Be Fruitful
The first sermon in the series, "Bearing Fruit in the City," with Rev. Pete Nicholas preaching.Paul makes an amazing claim in Colossians 1:6 that ‘the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world’ (NIV). The fruitfulness that Paul is talking about is missional fruitfulness, as the Christians in Colossae came to faith in Christ Jesus. It is also pastoral fruitfulness, ‘bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God' (v10). But what is this gospel that is so central, powerful, and fruitful? Paul writes, ‘He [Jesus Christ] is the one we proclaim’. In other words, the gospel is not an abstract set of doctrines (though it is doctrinal), nor is it merely a religious experience (though it is experiential). At its core, it is personal; it is about the person and work of Jesus Christ. To bear fruit, we need to know him and proclaim him.This is what Colossians is about. Christ is all we need to be fruitful. He is the way into the Christian life, and he is the way on. Nothing more, nothing less; Christ is all we need.
